Imagine the possibilities. Pornography would become like having sex for real. Even with lolis, and shotas. Would it be moral? They are not real after all. Maybe, pedophiles could be satisfied with this technology and not rape real kids.
In any case, if this game makes you happy, then go for it. But if it makes you feel worse, dont use it.
I hope one day you do make this a reality, it will make a lot of people to escape their own worlds that they hate and let them be in a world were happiness is possible; even if it's for a short time.

But I at least want to contribute to its development. I know there will be people who will enjoy as much as I would, and even more.

There is hope, we have the Asian countries making leaps and bounds in computer science. They don't have the restrictions that America does. American universities have the people but, as someone said AI is still very touchy subject. I believe that AI research should be unhindered, people shit on the Chinese and the Japanese a lot about the conversational research being done over there. Their work on gene therapy and other forms of technology are quite impressive.

I do not think it is sad or pathetic for people to find comfort or relationship in virtual companionship. Certainly, the anonymity found online allows for the creepiness factor to make itself more profound, but I have always been honest with who I am online whereas others have not.

Come on Macoleco, I can understand Geordi La Forge creating a virtual girlfriend being many ly away from Earth, but you are not.
You don't want to be this guy

How hard it is in this day and age to go to hook-up website/app and find a date. Come on do it, let that be your task. What can go wrong? I know you fear you'll embarrass yourself but if you're not unemployed, not living with your parents and not being too fat there's nothing to be embarrassed. I think you stated before how you think you don't know how to talk to girls, but on the first date that's actually an advantage, because girls like to be the ones that talk. In fact you can see how bad your date is going by how much you talk opposed to her. If you start talking too much the girl will automatically start to think " What's wrong with him?" She'll roll her eyes metaphorically.
So you go there on 1st date and treat it like an interview. Just ask her many, many questions and when she asks you question or two be brief, if you go long she'll think you're in love with yourself. Listen to what she has to say and pretend that you're interested and you'll be fine. Because that's what women do to each other, they listen to one another and by doing that they give each-other signals that they care for each others' feelings.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I still don't know what the difference is supposed to be, between my wife and an ai spouse. I mean, yeah, we exchange bodily fluids with regularity...she can throw a punch and so can I, but who wants to hear about that shit?
Fuckin deviants. See how easy it is to marginalize people and their happiness...... basement dwellers, nerds, or otherwise?

It's kind of amusing, how non-existent the bar is for model citizenry, isn't it? I -am- that, ofc, btw. Stand me up in my green and powder blue and watch me make a mockery of whatever you are.

The "girl" on the computer is always there specifically and only for you, and always perfect, and never needs anything from you, and never fights with or argues with or challenges you. Real girls have lives and needs and personalities of their own.
I'm on the opposite end of on this if it makes you happy go on and do it.
I'm not trying to say anyone should be *banned* from doing it.
It's about whether or not it's a healthy and productive practice. Not all things that bring you immediate happiness at the moment are good for you or give you a happier life in the long run.

Couldn't agree more CL. Won't fault anyone for doing it, but it sets unrealistic expectations of what real human relationships are like.
We are not made happy by what we acquire but by what we appreciate.
